Spanning - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Spanning is a cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solution for G Suite, Office 365, and Salesforce. The platform is designed to help businesses protect their data within the cloud in the event of user errors, malicious activity, security breaches, and other disasters, and provides automatic and manual backup options for businesses of all sizes.

For G Suite users, Spanning can be used to automate data backup and recovery for all G Suite tools including Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, and more. The Office 365 plugin supports Sharepoint, OneDrive, Mail, and Calendar backup and restoration, whilst the Salesforce connection allows users to backup base objects, metadata, Force.com apps, Chatter posts, and more.

With industry standard privacy, security, and compliance measures, Spanning provides comprehensive protection for user's data with an unlimited amount of storage and no limit on the number of backups. Backups can run automatically in the background, be triggered on demand at any time, or scheduled for specific dates and times. The status of backups can be tracked with visual displays to highlight completed backups, temporary errors, failed backups, and those which need attention.

Spanning also facilitates data restoration with options for point-in-time restore which allows users to restore data from any previous backup, granular, search-based restore with which users can recover selected files using the search functionality, cross-user restore which allows users to restore data from one user account into another, and end-user self-service restore. Close integration with Salesforce means that the Spanning restoration feature can be built-in to the Salesforce interface for a seamless experience.
